I hope this energizes their troops and allies seeing Ukraine’s “insane” mission and offers more support for their cause. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦

is that there is no similarity whatsoever. The U.S. and Japan were not at war at the time of Pearl Harbor, although tensions were certainly very high. Second, Russia was the original aggressor against Ukraine. A better way to characterise this attack by Ukraine is to compare it to America’s Doolittle Raid on the Japanese mainland. Apparently, the Ukrainians were able to find Shangri-la …

(For those who don’t know the history, the Doolittle Raid was said to have been launched from Shangri-la to hide the fact that the U.S. had been able to launch B-25 bombers from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet).

It was a devastating surprise attack destroying a significant percentage of Russia's offensive capacity, as was the Pearl Harbor attack. Russia saying it's their Pearl Harbor equivalent is fantastic news, as this demonstrates how devastating the attack was. The differences you site are irrelevant. If you describe it as similar to Doolittle's raid you will get a blank stare from 98% Americans.

was not at war during the Pearl Harbor attack IS SIGNIFICANT. Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 and has been attempting to genocide that country every since.

"The differences you site are irrelevant." POPPYCOCK!!!

No similarities whatsoever? Poppycock!!!

Ukraine has been at war since Russia's invasion of Crimea in 2014. This attack by Ukraine on Russia is a strategic surgical defensive move to cripple as much of Russia's military capability as is possible. To call this a "Russian Pearl Harbor" is to take away the fact that Ukraine is the victim of Russian aggression and genocidal policy. In effect, the statement makes Russia the victim. Something the vast majority of people will surely disagree with.

in America’s prosecution of the war against Japan.

The Kremlin is attempting to frame the narrative (propagandize) again. The U.S. was NOT at war when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Putin and the Kremlin invaded Ukraine and started a war in 2014 and haven't stopped terrorizing Ukraine since that time. Ukraine is DEFENDING itself with this attack. Russia must withdraw ALL troops from any occupied parts of Ukraine.

Slava Ukraini!! Heroyam Slava!!

I haven't seen them retract any of their more egregious mistakes, so I tune in now and then for headlines and skip the analysis and supposition parts of their show.

However, this has been confirmed by all sorts of sources, including a headline for "Inside Russia's" video tomorrow, meaning it has been all over Russian Telegraph accounts.

Putin's going to play this up as much as he can, but someone needs to mention him that this isn't their Pearl Harbor, it's their Tet Offensive, something that started to turn the tide of American opinion against the war since it was obvious the Pentagon was lying to the press and the press were all lying to America about that war, kind of the way Putin has been lying to Russians about Ukraine.

It won't happen overnight, it took Tet about 4 years to sink in completely, that the war was unwinnable.
